I’m on a mission. I have a plan. A goal. I was talking to Sweet Chili Martinez one day and told him I was building some boat boxes using ArtBin quickview boxes. I didn’t want to spend the money on a Cliff box. Not that they’re not great boxes, they are, I own one and…

Here’s how small of a world fly fishing is. Jeff sent me a message on facebook after seeing my post on Wisconsin musky asking if I was the guy he and a buddy had met while they were there fishing. Indiana plates on the truck, but it wasn’t me. It was my buddy Jordan who…

An old man passed away. He left a box of fly tying materials. When it was opened you knew right away it was old. It had that smell that is so familiar to packed away odds and ends we accumulate in life. The feathers were crumbling in their packaging; the deer hair was brittle and…

My wife and I made the 10 hour drive to Atlanta last Thursday to have an early Christmas with my mom, step-dad, and brother. I spent Friday with my friend Ralph on the Chattahoochee being guided by John Scalley of A River Through Atlanta. I’m glad my family understands my addiction. I’ve waded the Chattahoochee…

My first post was 12/16/11. A few days later Cameron from The Fiberglass Manifesto posted on facebook to check my site out, I saw traffic surge, and so I figured I’d see how long I could make it last. It’s been a crazy fun year. The enjoyment I get out of doing this little website…

Just a feeler post to see how many of you would like to snag a face mask if I have more made. The cost will be $15 and that includes shipping and a sticker or two. This is what they look like. I didn’t have a model so I had to use me. Next time…

I was late to the bandwagon. I was stupid. I know this now. I’m a convert to the Cult of Goo. For too long I used epoxies and glues. I’d have to slow down, wait for it to dry, and then finish the fly. My fingers would be coated in the excess, sometimes wrecking a…

With winter setting in way up north in Michigan, Sweet Chili Martinez sent me an awesome picture of the last man standing. Glad that koozie is being put to good use. I need to get north and onto some steelhead this winter.

I love seeing new stuff. DRYFT looks pretty dope. They’re launching waders in 2013 which will be in the $200 range and packed with features. Keep up with them on facebook, twitter, and http://dryftfishing.com/. DRYFT’s 2013 release of their waders is proof the Mayans just ran out of room on their stones. We like fishing.…
